SREB/AT&T State Virtual Schools Alliance

For nearly a decade, the SREB Educational Technology Cooperative has helped SREB's 16 member states provide high-quality online academic courses to middle grades, high school and postsecondary students. More recently the Cooperative has increased its work with the K-12 community, focusing on what it takes to develop and provide high-quality online courses and teaching, and what state agencies need to do to provide the organization and structure to meet state academic goals.

In partnership with the BellSouth Foundation (now the AT&T Foundation), the Southern Regional Education Board launched the SREB-State Virtual Schools Alliance in June 2005 to help member states increase middle grades and high school students' access to quality academic courses through state-supported virtual schools.

Through a multiyear grant, the alliance helps states share the information and resources essential to the successful creation of a state virtual school, including developing or acquiring quality online courses, preparing competent online teachers and securing adequate funding.
